A birthday present for my colleague, made from baby socks, I like working with little socks :)  I do, however, have no idea why I thought earrings would be a good idea for him.

Festivities

Sorry its Been a while, I have made so many things lately but most are Christmas presents, I will post pictures when it's safe. For now though, here is a simply made quick card, with a stamp, and some sparkly glue stuff :)

I'm not sure why the picture is a bit dodgy, the words say "Rocking Around The Christmas Tree"

Beegee Bunny

This is Beegee, our newest arrival, created yesterday, 26th July 2011, and completed today, made from two baby socks from George by asda (new), I especially like the way his tail turned out, quite cute indeed.

More Socks Talk- Bubbles The Kitten

My Name Is Bubbles

Dingaling...

I have a squiggly tail

This is Bubbles, one of my sisters Birthday presents this year, quite simple to make from one trainer sock, an old skirt belt, and the usually trimmings such as ribbon, bell and eyes, turned out really well :D

These are memorial pebbles for Little Joe's friend Finley's 2nd Birthday

Lets talk about socks

Harvest

I was going to say that I wasnt doing too bad at keeping you up to date with my bits and pieces lately, however, I have just found this post in the "drafts" section, which would explain my silence, sorries :P

I am currently between jobs and therefore not quite so tired out of an evening after the days activities have wound down.

Before I left my job, I started playing with some kits in an evening of stressedoutness, and here are the results :)

Home Made Decopauge

For this one, I used a picture of a cow and printed it several times, printed it onto card and then built it up in the usual way, turned out quite cute. I have a long flower punch which also looked quite funky along the edge. Again, I have used the sparkly glitter glue for added prettyness.

Wedding Renewal Card

I made this card for a friend who was renewing her wedding vows, the Oak tree is a stamp, and I used some sparkly glue to create the effect of light and the magic on the trunk as well as on the punched hearts which are representative of her family, with mummy and daddy being at the top of the tree. I was quite pleased at how well it turned out. 

Craft fayre of wonderment

In April, I went to a craft fayre and met with my lovely friend from Carlisas crafts, Dorset. We had a great day and I was quite well behaved actually with what I bought, henceforth, photographic evidence, oh by the way, the furry guy is Maurice, from Canada :) 

Canadian Maurice

This is just half of it

My New Stamp

My Haul, I was good

Oh dear got some catching up to do

Ok so I freely admit I have been somewhat rubbish lately, apologies for that, I have been very busy in the garden getting things straight and since retiring at 33, have been doing some temporary work, which has tired me out and kept me busy. I have been working on a few things, here is the bag that I made after my birthday in March, sorry it has been so long :S I have done lots of crafty bits lately, will share pics after the bag pics :) made from the kit I had for my birthday.

Tadaaaa :)

My Cool Birthday Presents :) yay

Hey!!! I had some awesome stuff for my birthday, look.......will keep me busy for a while, and of course I will post pictures of my finished creations, not done a lot on the creativity side of things lately, well not that I can post this side of mothers day anyway, plus I've done a wedding card too, again, cant show it until after the weekend, but next Monday maybe :)

Yes, I know, I can't crochet, well not yet, but once I leave my job, I will maybe go to a local craft club and e shown how to do it :)

 I'm really looking forward to making my bag :) fun, and I get to use the sewing machine for something other than taking up my trousers because I am vertically challenged :)

I really want to make the dude on the right, he is so cool lol. 


be good
